Overview
- Agent Paul Connors said his firm would hear Tasmania’s approach on Collingwood star Nick Daicos, though the midfielder is contracted until 2029 and the Devils concede an inaugural move is unlikely.
- Tasmania will be permitted to sign one uncontracted player per club across the 2027–28 off-seasons and has a $5 million sign-on fund to help lure established talent.
- The Devils showcased their plans to more than 30 player managers in Hobart, highlighting lifestyle, facilities and commercial opportunities including major deals with Blundstone and New Balance.
- List rules in 2026 allow Tasmania to pre-list up to 12 players in their 17th year, with the club aiming to sign an initial group of about six this season to remove them from the 2027 draft pool.
- List boss Todd Patterson said Tasmania has already met roughly six AFL men’s players and two women’s players about interest, with a target of securing three to five senior commitments by year’s end.
